Was there on Sunday, was my first time at Canjam and really enjoyed it, was worth the trip and day spent well. Shure will go next time too. But hopefully on first day. Didnt manage to hear or see some of products you pictured here.

The fit of those little things amazes me more than anything else! While the sd2 is good,its quite linear and could due with a bump of a couple of db in the bass,and more extension in the highs to my ear,and a bigger soundstage if possible..

Wow, great weekend! Imagine my surprise seeing my picture on the first page of this review ^^, i’m the guy with the Aëdle headphones. It was our first time at Canjam for my friends and I. We come from Geneva, Switzerland and drove about 1500 km over the weekend just for this incredible opportunity to listen to every single headphone we could get our hands on. Call us crazy if you want, but it was well worth it! We’re definitely coming back next year!

Of course you can use the pic, no harm done. The show was great, everybody was really friendly and gladly answered any question we had. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer. Next time, come say hello! I’ve been reading reviews on Headfonia for ever, it would be nice to have a chat once at a meet 😉

I don’t know. I have a 4 driver, 5 driver and 10 driver incoming but they shouldn’t be compared to eachother really

I agree on the Calyx M, it sounds great! I tried it with the LCD-2 and thought it was quite a good pairing. Too bad they didn’t tell me about the 3 hour battery life at the show… As for in ears, I own the Westone 4, but I’m tempted to get some customs. What would you suggest? BA4?

I don’t know your musical preference or budget but the CE6P is very good. the new CE4E is great too. CE4E si a great starter though

I usually listen to jazz, instrumental/electronic music and occasionally rock/metal. I found headphones with a very linear response to be harder to enjoy musically compared to headphones with slight colorations. Typically, I prefer the HD650 to the HD800. Also, I find it hard to accept to pay double for headphones that most certainly don’t sound twice as good. The difference in price between the CE4E and CE6P is not enormous, would you have some more details to share concerning these earphones?

Nice pics, although i had to chuckle a little bit about the looks of Shozy Alien DAP. I just looks so awkward or silly? (to me at least) All i know is that i really want to try the Hifiman He-560 and AKG K812 and maybe some Audeze, but mostly the He-560.

Good report as always here. Do you know something about the new Violectric dac v820? Was it exposed there? I’m very interested in this product (the new Violectric flagship dac) but I cant find anything.

Pinuccio

First of all my greatest THANK YOU for this precious information. It was a long time I was trying to know something about it. So you can confirm that this v820 exists and isn’t a product of my imagination and that it will be available in 2015 probably in the summertime. For me this means that I won’t buy Anedio D2 anymore and I’ll wait for the new v820. But……was a v820 prototype exposed there? Did he say to you something more specific about launch time and price? Thanks again…..and Germany rocks!!!

One of the Beoplay H6 on the B&O stand had a silver cable. Does anybody happen to know which brand it was? Its really hard to find aftermarket cables for this headphone, and I’m not a fan of the inline mic…

Rasmus told me he got it on ebay, if I am not mistaken, but I couldn’t find it myself. I did try it at the stand and it clearly emphasizes the treble (higher frequencies). If you like that, it’s worth investigating, but personally I prefer the stock cable, because of this.

Albert_T

I don’t really like the stock cable, because of the 4 pin connector, and because it makes noise everytime i touch it… but i’m using the Aëdle cable now with my H6 and it’s much nicer! And it only costs 19 euros

Looking forward to your review of the Asus Essence 3 which was awarded the European Award by EISA as the the best USB dac/ amp of 2014. This is a good follow up to the review of the Asus Muse done by Mike.
